Important! Once the adhesive is ready to bond, if
any contact is made between the back side of
the laminate and the edge of the substrate, they
will bond immediately.
4. Be very careful to align each laminate piece
with the substrate prior to the surfaces touching.
Starting at one end of the edge, start applying
the edge strip with excess laminate extending
above the top side of the counter. Use a hard
rubber J-roller to apply uniform pressure along
the entire edge strip (see drawing C).

7.
Position the dowel rods on the top surface
approximately 12" apart, perpendicular to the
front edge (see drawing F). Position the laminate
carefully over the substrate. Starting at one end
of the counter, start removing the dowels one at
a time while holding the laminate in place.

5. Using the laminate trimmer/router, trim off
the excess laminate protruding above the substrate surface (see drawing D). Areas that cannot
be routed may be filed smooth. When filing never
drag a file out toward the decorative surface of
the laminate. Doing so can result in chipping of
the color/pattern.
8.
Use a hard rubber 3" J-roller to apply uniform pressure across the entire countertop.
Apply pressure to every inch of the surface for a
complete and lasting bond.
9. Route off the laminate overhangs with the
router and flush trim bit. The radius left by the
routing process in any inside corner should
remain. A radius on an inside corner (minimum
1/8") will strengthen the corner. Use a file to
remove sharp edges and sharp outside corners.
